BRAD'S TRIBUTE IN INK TO HURRICANE KATRINA

While taking a helicopter ride with his son Maddox, Brad Pitt exposed his newest batch of tattoos on his lower back. Brad's shirt lifted up to reveal a series of lines and boxes, which are said to represent a map of the New Orleans' levee system which failed when Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005. Of course we all know that the rebuilding of New Orleans is a passion of Brad's, who started the Make It Right project which builds eco-friendly housing for the victims.
The Brangelina clan has been spending time in the south of France and Monaco where Brad helped Bono to celebrate his 48th birthday.
VERY NICE. I glad to see him wanting to have a permanent mark for himself and the rest of the world to remember such important humanitarian work by. With this tattoo he and anyone that asks about it will always remember and keep in mind the tragedy Katrina brought to New Orleans. If those levees hadn't failed, the damage to the city would have been a fifth of what it was. The levees are the key and they sum up all of the political and enviormental problems that made Katrina the destroyer it was and if not permantently solved; will be the death blow to the city one storm in the future. Brad Pitt has evolved into a man & humanitarian to be respected and looked up to.
oh come on! tats are so 2000! i regret the ones i got when i was 19. they are gross an faded. what will it be like to be a 50 yr. old with tattoos? i'm saving to mask mine, but dr. says they have too much ink. BIG mistake
The world could certainly use more people like Brad Pitt. His caring, generosity and commitment to the people of New Orleans is very deeply appreciated!
Be sure to check out Brad's makeitrightnola.org . I believe they started building the first houses there yesterday! Great stuff!
